  • Patent number: 11797768
    Abstract: Systems and methods develop a natural language interface. Conversational data including user utterances is received for a plurality of conversations from a natural language interface. Each of the conversations is classified to determine intents for each user utterance, and for each of the conversations, a control flow diagram showing the intents and sequential flow of the conversation is generated. Each of the control flow diagrams is processed to generate a graph embedding representative of the conversation. A previous conversation that is similar to the current conversation is identified from a previous graph embedding that is nearest to a current graph embedding of a most recent utterance in a current conversation. A previous outcome of the previous conversation is used to predict an outcome of the current conversation, which, when not positive, may control response outputs of the natural language interface to steer the current conversation towards a positive result.

  • Patent number: 11733786
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interacting with virtual objects in a three-dimensional space using a wearable system are disclosed. The wearable system can be programmed to permit user interaction with interactable objects in a field of regard (FOR) of a user. The FOR includes a portion of the environment around the user that is capable of being perceived by the user via the AR system. The system can determine a group of interactable objects in the FOR of the user and determine a pose of the user. The system can update, based on a change in the pose or a field of view (FOV) of the user, a subgroup of the interactable objects that are located in the FOV of the user and receive a selection of a target interactable object from the subgroup of interactable objects. The system can initiate a selection event on the target interactable object.
